Removing The difference between the removal and fitting of the spoiler for 3 and 5 doors are: t  the distance between the fitting dimensions of the spoilers t  the spacings

Information below is only for the 5-door model

For the purpose of protecting the rear lid panel -1-, glue to the rear lid -2- as shown in the figure.

–	As shown in the figure, apply the measuring tape -3- to the rear lid.

–	Starting on the left side, follow the dimensions marked using a pen:

t

a = 57 mm

t	b = 230 mm

t	c = 399 mm

t	d = 600 mm

t	e = 775 mm

t	f = 950 mm

–	Place the lever -U 30800- between the dimensions -a- and -b- between the rear lid and place the spoiler on the edge of the roof.

–	Place the release tool -T10236- on the dimension -a- and press lightly in the direction of the -arrow- so that the clips can be released from the mountings of the roof spoiler.

To make the removal easier, a second mechanic holds the spoiler so that the clips that have been removed are not re-engaged as a result of the spoiler geometry.

–	Repeat the procedure for the remaining clips of the spoiler until all clamps are released.

To enable the clips to be seen easier, insert the lever -U 30800- between the respective dimensions.

Information below is only for the 3-door model

For the purpose of protecting the rear lid panel -1-, glue to the rear lid -2- as shown in the figure.

–	As shown in the figure, apply the measuring tape -3- to the rear lid.

–	Starting on the left side, follow the dimensions marked using a pen:

t

a = 28 mm

t	b = 200 mm

t	c = 378 mm

t	d = 578 mm

t	e = 756 mm

t	f = 926 mm

–	Place the lever -U 30800- between the dimensions -a- and -b- between the rear lid and place the spoiler on the edge of the roof.

–	Place the release tool -T10236- on the dimension -a- and press lightly in the direction of the -arrow- so that the clips can be released from the mountings of the roof spoiler.

–	Repeat the procedure for the remaining clips of the spoiler until all clamps are released.

To enable the clips to be seen easier, insert the lever -U 30800- between the respective dimensions.

Continues for all models

–	Using the help of a second mechanic, hold the spoiler to the side -arrow- and apply downward pressure -arrow A- at the same time and push along the rear window in the direction of -arrow B-.

–	Release the spoiler -1- from the side guides -2-.

The mounts of the side guide -2- must have been fixed to the rear window.

–  Using the lever -U 30800-, remove the wall bushing -1- and unplug the connector of the brake light. –  Remove the spoiler -2-. Installing

Check all clips of the spoiler -3- and the fastenings of the mount -5- and replace when damaged or broken.

If the fixings of the side guides -4- have loosened when removing the spoiler, proceed as follows → Anchor.

If the rear window has to be replaced or with new side guides -4-, proceed as follows → Anchor.

–	Connect the electric connector -1-.

–	Apply grease to the periphery of the wall bushing -2- and insert this into its mount -6-.

–	With the assistance of a second mechanic, place the spoiler -1- onto the side guides -2-.

–	Hold the spoiler -2- on the side guides and push in the direction of the -arrow- at the same time until you can hear the clips → Item of the spoiler engaging in the fixings of the mount -3-.

Side guides brackets: installation If the fixings of the side guides have loosened when removing the spoiler and when replacing the rear window, proceed as follows .   Note The application surface for the primer must be clean. –  Only remove the glue residues using glue solvent when the same mounts of the side guides-2-or the same rear window -D 002 000 10- are used. –  Moisten a cloth with cleaning solvent -D 009 401 04-. –  Carefully and thoroughly clean the area to be glued with the moistened cloth and allow to dry. –  Apply the primer -D 009 200 02- equally in the area -1- of the rear window and on the inner side of the side guidings -2-. t  a = 60 mm (2 to 4 heating wires in the rear window) t  b = 35 mm (from the edge of the rear window) Drying time, dry for approx. 10 minutes.

–  Insert the mounts of the side guides -1- into the spoiler and push it in as far as it will go in the direction of the -arrow-.

–  Apply the single-component adhesive -DH 009 100 03- using the cartridge glue gun -SAT 5350- to the inner side of the side guiding mounts -1- on the primer surface. In doing so, take special care that the cord does not protrude more than 2 mm.   WARNING The spoiler must be fitted within 10 minutes otherwise the adhesive power of the glue reduces. Information below is only for the 5-door model

–  During the hardening time, fit the spoiler -1- using the masking tape -2-. When doing so, observe the spacings. t  Dimension between the tailgate and the spoiler = 4.07 mm t  Dimension between the rear window and the base of the spoiler = 2 ± 1 mm Information below is only for the 3-door model

–  During the hardening time, fit the spoiler -1- using the masking tape -2-. When doing so, observe the spacings. t  Dimension between the tailgate and the spoiler = 1.5 mm t  Dimension between the rear window and the base of the spoiler = 2 ± 1 mm Minimum curing period The hardening time for glued parts is at least 3 hours.   Note This hardening time applies from gluing the moving parts up to the use of the vehicle. During this time, the vehicle must be parked on a level surface and have an ambient temperature (at least 15 °C).   WARNING Vehicle is safe to use only after the curing period is completed.
